'Subtle Slander1 Campaign Keeps
Businessmen Out of Government
San Francisco U.R1 T. S.
Petersen, president of the Stand
ard Oil Company of California
said yesterday that an 85-year-
old campaign of "innuendo and
subtle slander" has operated to
discourage businessmen from
serving their government.
Petersen said businessmen
have been "reluctant" to serve
their government because of a
"myth" that they cannot subor
dinate their private interests to
those of the nation at large.
Businessmen are no more
thickskinned than Americans en
gaged in other occupations,"
Petersen said. "They are not
cheered by aspersions on their
character or integrity. They re
sent being grouped as grasping
selfish men."
Petersen said it was during the
two terms of President Ulysses
S. Grant that this "myth" was
invented.
However, he pointed out that
World War II and the Korean
war were moments in history
during which "the political myth
about business in government
was shelved, at least for a short
while."
Experience Needed
Petersen asserted that govern
ment particularly needs experi
enced hands in the direction of
its giant divisions, and that it is
in business, that such skills are
most likely to be found.
Petersen addressed his re
marks to a section meeting of
the American Petroleum Insti
tute, now holding its 35th an
nual convention.
Another prominent speaker
was Pieese H. Taylor, President
of Union Oil Company of Cali
fornia. He declared that the oil
industry needs men who are not
only specialists in their particu
lar job but who can understand
the "overall operation."
"The genuine oil man must
know what his industry as a
whole is doing, what is demand
ed of it, and what it requires
Photographers Asked
To Give Ike Privacy
Gettysburg, Pa. (U.R) White
House Press Secretary James C.
Hagerty appealed to news pho
tographers yesterday to let Presi
dent Eisenhower roam about his
farm here in privacy, without
feeling that long-range cameras
are covering his every act.
Hagerty made the plea after
Mr. Eisenhower, enjoying his
first full day at home, made an
early morning tour of his rolling
Pennsylvania acres and in
spected his prize herd of Black
Angus cattle. Some long-range
pictures were taken during his
stroll.
Hagerty said it is "vitally im
portant to the health of the
President that he be allowed to
walk around that farm without
. . . being conscious of telescopic
lenses on him at all times."
for survival and growth," Taylor
said. "He must be an informed
citizen, on and off the job. We
need more of such men."
J. Hugh Jackson, dean of the
graduate school of busienss at
Stanford University, urged men
aspiring to become financial and
accounting officers to have a
! broad foundation in courses deal
ing with human relations.
Graduate Study
He said this foundation was a
necessity because 19 out of every
20 decisions made by corporate
executives relate primarily to
people.
"The ideal education for the
financial or accounting execu
tive should consist of four years
of liberal arts as a foundation,
this to be supplemented by at
least two years of intensive grad
uate or professional study in
business," he said.
C. V. Roseberry, manager of
commercial atomic power activi
ties for Westinghouse Electric
Corp., said that conventional
fuels will provide the source of
electrical power for a long time
to come.
He said that the best industry
estimates indicate that even in
the year 2000, twice as much
electric power will come from
conventional fuels as from nu
clear power.
Roseberry predicted, however,
that in 35 years, each source of
power alone conventional and
nuclear will be turning out as
much as our total electrical con
sumption today.
Indian Affairs Hold
Spotlight at Hearing
Klamath Falls (U.R) In
dian affairs got more attention

Pa.) and Rep. Clare Hoffman (R
Mich.), only two members pres

Klamath Indian tribal council

ready for the independence the
government has ordered for
them.
Boyd told the congressmen
that Indians do not understand
the law that would terminate
federal wardship and that the
government has not provided an
adequate education program. He
also deplored the federal policy
of charging the Indians for the
cost of the termination program.
He pointed out that three white
management specialists supervis
ing termination are paid $12,000
annually, plus per diem, by the
reservation.

General Strike Call
Fails in Argentina
Buenos Aires U.R) A gen
eral strike called by the General
Confederation of Labor, once
the strongest supporter of oust

smashing victjry in a major test
of strength. It also seemed to
sound the death knell for what
remained of Peronist power in
Argentina.
